In the latest modern IoT era, the development of science, technology and engineering is the main driver of the evolution of human life. The use of the word "smart" is now widely used in various contexts that bring the meaning of intelligence. Among the technologies that are gaining attention among the community is the "Smart Home". The concept of "smart home" is becoming more popular today because people's lives are now packed with daily work schedules, so there is a need for a home that is equipped with a Smart Home Automation system and a Monitoring System to automate selected electrical appliances at home and monitor the condition of their home. This Smart Home Automation and Monitoring System is controlled by an Arduino Uno and an ESP 8266 MCU node where it helps users to control the use of electricity sources where it operates by automatically controlling the system depending on the user's presence in the house. The system also is equipped with various sensors that are placed in the home for security purposes. The status can also be monitored through an apps and also control the function through the apps that developed by using Blynk. It also can be controlled by using the "voice recognition". Notification will be send to user when something happen at home. This project can improve our daily life by efficiently monitoring the home status in real time and controlling electrical appliances in a very economical way.
